  1. Visiting Guernsey Rugby Tours

  2. About Guernsey • Guernsey is located some 100 miles of the coast of the UK and 30 miles from the west cost of France. Being an island, with a warmer climate than the UK, much time is spent outside; on the beach, walking the cliffs, island hopping or eating ‘al fresco’. • The Island has great sporting facilities and a programme of sporting events throughout the year. • Ask anyone who’s been here. Guernsey is a special place, a thriving community that welcomes its visitors with open arms and leaves a lasting impression on all who set foot on her soil. • Children have been playing rugby here since 1974 when the Mini section was formed with just 9 players. The Academy now boasts some 300 players spread over 12 squads from U7 to U19 Colts. The Academy is affiliated to Hampshire RFU and follows the RFU Continuum and training guidelines. • Teams from both the UK and mainland Europe have previously made trips to Guernsey. Teams in the past have also requested to play Jersey and they are more than happy to come across and play. With sufficient notice we will make every effort to accommodate this request

  5. FAQs • Do I need a passport to travel to Guernsey? Strictly speaking no but most airlines now insist on photographic identification at check in. It is therefore recommended that all travellers carry their passport with them when travelling to Guernsey. • Can I spend sterling in Guernsey? Guernsey has its own currency (the States of Guernsey pound) but Sterling notes and coins are accepted everywhere. A word of caution, Guernsey money can be exchanged at a bank in the UK but UK shops will not accept it. So spend your Guernsey money while you are here! The Guernsey £1 has the same value as £1 Sterling. • Should I take out travel insurance to cover my trip to Guernsey? All visitors are recommended to take out travel insurance for trips to Guernsey. Travelling rugby teams should consider group travel insurance to cover eventualities. • What happens if I fall ill or I am injured in a rugby match on a visit to Guernsey? There is no reciprocal health agreement in place with the UK.  This means that any medical treatment required in the Chanel Island’s for UK residents is payable. For UK visiting teams The Academy would suggest teams take out medical cover as. While travelling to the UK The Academy has medical cover, not travel insurance – costing round £3.00 per day. • Contact details for more information If you would be interested in coming over to Guernsey to tour please contact Guernsey Rugby Development Officer Geraint Cooper 07781-137-988 gmooper@cwgsy.net
